Project Diary: Xtools (9)
I’ve not made any updates lately because I’ve been learning AJAX coding techniques and I’ve been working instead on the hotfix parser. AJAX has a lot debate on what exactly it is (which is weird), but the definition used in the book that I’m reading (and on Wikipedia) is that it is essentially a client-side [...]

Brought the 0.10.2 revision over to the production site as it fixes a number of critical bugs. I’m still working on 0.11.0, which begins the implementation of the ESN parser.

All my programming time has diminished my attentiveness to building the [...]

Put up a BugTracker. I’ll be importing the ASPECT projects that I’ve been working on over the years soon, so that if any users want to report bugs for those projects, they can.
Primarily though, this BugTracker is used to track the features/projects/ideas for my Xtools project. I figured that while a diary is great, tracking [...]
Project Diary: Xtools [3]
Completed converting one parse utility from previous scripting language to PHP, currently debugging. Parse utilities will run as cron jobs to control CPU load.
Began writing file upload code, reading up on how files get uploaded via PHP and how to protect the server when permitting file uploads. I’m currently thinking that I’ll upload to a [...]
Goal for August, Final Update, and Goal for September/October
My Goal for August is complete.
Now, to set a goal for September…thinking about this for the last week really stretched me. There are a number of things that I know which I could blog about, but the problem is that every one of those things is considered confidential piece of information. Access to and usage of [...]
Goal for August, Update 2
Back in July, I set a goal to work on detailing out some Nortel Meridian-1/CS1000 maintenance routines. I’m making progress on that goal.
Nortel Advanced Distributor Training Overview / Patching
I presented at the Nortern California Nortel User Association meeting in February 2008 on how to manage patches on your Nortel systems. This PDF document is derived from that presentation but has been slimmed down from the original Power Point.
